Anna35 [415]

Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.

A glider with mass m = 0.230 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.50

loris [4]

Answer

given,

mass of glider = 0.23 Kg

spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m

spring stretched to 0.130 m

The springs potential energy =

$U = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.5 \times 0.13^2$

U = 0.038 J

at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=0.038$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.23 \times v^2=0.038$

v² = 0.3304

v = 0.575 m/s

displacement of the glider

using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x =v\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

$x =3\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.23}{4.5}}$

x = 0.678 m

According to Lenz's law, the induced current in a circuit always flows to oppose the external magnetic field through the circuit

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

According to Lenz's law, the induced current in a circuit always flows to oppose the external magnetic field through the circuit. This statement is true.

The Faraday's law of induction is given by :

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Here, negative sign shows that the direction of induced emf is such that opposes the changing current that is its cause.

Hence, the statement is true.

If a bow holds 500J of potential energy as the arrow is pulled back, how much kinetic energy will the arrow have after it has be

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

500J

Explanation:

The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.

This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
